Review by Library Journal Review

If cookbook authors were like famous musicians and published greatest-hits albums, this would be Martha Stewart's. Great care has been taken to collect her personal favorite recipes to include in her 100th book, which is full of the wisdom and charm readers have come to treasure from the domestic icon. Her dependable writing style and encouraging tips are employed in this overview of her life and career that is sure to please her most ardent fans and newcomers alike. With a can-do casual approach, Stewart offers dishes for every style of meal, every occasion, and shares how they are connected to her own story, travels, and life. Sprinkled throughout are personal photos from her childhood, early modeling career, beginnings as a chef, and familiar food creations that jump off the page. Also included are basic recipes for multiple versions of stock, doughs, and a list of basic kitchen tools she recommends for every kitchen. This is definitely a career-spanning tribute to Stewart, but also a loving thank-you to those who have followed her story and career. VERDICT This cookbook offers home cooks a complete collection of treasured recipes and a glimpse at a storied culinary journey.--Ron Block

Introduction My one hundredth book is here! It was so very, very exciting to be writing this. It seems like not so long ago that I was working on my first book, Entertaining . My then-husband, Andy, and our daughter, Alexis, flew to Utah to ski while I remained home at Turkey Hill Road in Westport, Connecticut, to put the finishing touches on that book. It was 1981. This year, the family--Alexis and her two children, Jude and Truman--went to Japan to ski and sightsee while I stayed home to focus on Martha: The Cookbook. Over the course of a year, I compiled one hundred recipes that I am sure will appeal to many of you. I worked with an excellent team to photograph deliciously prepared food, cooked and styled elegantly in my home in Bedford, New York, using the very best available ingredients, much of it from my gardens. One of our most talented designers laid out the book and the typography, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results of our hard work. It was not an easy task to choose just a hundred recipes from the thousands created over the years. I wanted to include some breakfast and brunch dishes, soups and salads, cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, dinners, garden sides, and desserts. Every night, I remembered yet another dish I thought should be added and had to restrain myself. Without a doubt, I knew I wanted to include some treasured family recipes that my mother, as a matriarch of a family of eight, made regularly. Big Martha, as she was affectionately known, appeared on my shows about forty times, demonstrating her cooking techniques--she was always a fan favorite! Then there are those everyday dishes that I eat consistently; those delicious ones that I serve my friends when entertaining; and those truly spectacular recipes I reserve for special events. I have turned to each and every one of these recipes over the years, again and again, and I hope you will, too. Also sprinkled throughout the book, within each chapter, I have included photos from my archives that are dear to me and shared stories related to them. It has been fun recalling my first trip to Paris, when Julia Child and Jacques Pépin were on my show, and making pasta with Alexis. Please enjoy the recipes we have featured and treat yourself, your family, and your friends to a little taste of my favorites--and do not forget to start compiling your own list of favorites to hand down to your loved ones.
